GENERAL STATEMENT 

1. Pursuant to the powers conferred upon the State Board 
of Education, by Chapters 6 and 149 of the Session Laws of 191 3, 
it has formulated rules and regulations for the classification of 
state rural, graded and consolidated schools. As provided for in 
the law, these rules and regulations are intended to interpret 
the law, and to add to some minimum requirements named 
therein. 

2. The purpose of this aid as stated by the Elementary 
School Act is to aid , encourage, stimulate, and standardize the 
rural, consolidated and graded schools of this state, and thereby 
increase the efficiency of the entire educational system. Its 
special purpose is to aid and promote consolidation of rural 
schools. 

3. The funds will be apportioned by the State Board of 
Education between the first and fifteenth days of August each 
year to such schools as have met all the requriements for classi- 
fication. A second class riiral school will receive one hundred 
dollars, a first class rural, one hundred fifty dollars, a second 
class graded, one hundred fifty dollars, a first class graded, two 
hundred dollars, a second class consolidated, five hundred dol- 
lars, and a first class consolidated, six hundred dollars ; provided, 
that should there be insufficient funds to apportion the amounts 
named therein then the available funds will be apportioned on a 
pro rata basis. 

4. All principal applications for inspection and classification 
must be made to the inspector not later than November ist in 
each year, but in order to give this office a better opportunity to 
inspect the school, such should be m.ade not later than October 
1st. Schools that pass inspection will be placed upon a preliminary 
classified list at any regular meeting of the state board of educa- 
tion and upon the final classified list beween August i and 15, 
when the funds will be apportioned. Supplementary applications 
must be made at the time school closes for the year, but not later 
than July ist. Not more than one school in any one township or 
district can receive aid until all have been disposed of.
